Very good, Alice. I was aware of this issue, and I am very glad that you have brought it to the forum. Issues such as control of ones creative property, increasingly are becoming a huge labor issue. Our beloved internet has created a new paradigm. I understand that, in fact I embrace it. But there are bedrock issues that should not shift, no matter how the medium changes. The ownership of ones work is just such an issue. I think what bothers me most is the idea that theft is OK because it is a new day. What the hell does that have to do with the writer, or the songsmiths, and their ability to support themselves by the fruits of their labor. Drives me crazy when folks try to rationalize it, like they will do by virtue of my posting this.

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

Mick
